1. Consider Sun Exposure & Privacy Needs

When choosing window treatments, one of the first things to consider is how much sunlight each room receives during different times of day. Depending on your preference, some areas may require blackout curtains while other rooms may benefit from sheer panels or shutters, allowing natural light into the space while still providing privacy when needed.

2. Get Creative With Colors & Textiles

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the choices available when it comes to colors and textures for window treatments, but don’t let that stop you from getting creative! You can use fabrics like velvet, linen, or even outdoor-friendly materials like canvas to add texture and personality to any room. And if you’re looking for something more daring than neutral shades like white or gray, try adding a vibrant pop of color in an unexpected place such as behind sheer curtains or on roman shades!

3. Utilize Custom Drapery & Hardware

Custom drapery and hardware are key elements that can truly elevate any space. Whether it's a bold patterned silk fabric or an intricate metal rod—the options are endless! Using custom drapery allows you to create an entirely bespoke look tailored specifically for your North Shore home. Additionally, custom hardware provides an opportunity to include unique details like finials or tiebacks which add visual interest and further customize your window treatments.
